    First time buying their infamous Trader Joe's Halloween minibags. We have to thank Nadine, Yelp Hawaii extraordinaire for the tips! We normally don't shop here regularly. Go figure bc they are close by but we have plenty of grocery stores even closer to us. My wife wanted the purple & black Trader Joe's bags. She didn't realize how small the mini was. It's ok. They are kind of cute & are useful down the line. That morning we were there a few hours prior. By 8 AM the line extended past Skechers if you're aware of this strip mall it was a very long line!!! But for 2.99 each why not? They did limit us 1 per color at 4 bags total. If you needed to use the restroom you would have to drive elsewhere. You're not allowed in the store until 8 AM. At least we survived this monumental purchase! Watch those bags are sitting there overnight at the grocery store!!! Heehee...

    This TJ's recently underwent a remodel and it is lighter, brighter, and easier to get around now. They also added another freezer aisle so there's a bigger and more bountiful section of your favorites. There is some adjustment as some things have moved around but it's much easier to navigate the store with the new layout. Yesterday I went shopping for my sibkid with their list -they are heading back to college this fall. I wanted to jumpstart their supplies so they have their faves starting day one. The store had everything in stock and I could buy multiples of their favorites. Very grateful for this location. The staff are exceptionally helpful and kind and the customers are easy to get along with (a big switch from East Sacramento's Folsom Blvd. location). Parking is ample.

    Lots of great fresh produce, spirits, beverages, cheeses, condiments and convenience foods. But, folks inexplicably go insane for insulated TJ lunch tote bags. Service is "Friday Casual" everyday. It's a "Handwritten sign, Turn-em, Burn-em" vibe. Sometimes you can find interesting wines, scotches or bourbons once you elbow your way through Yoga Moms, Seniors, and yuppies.

    I wish I had a closer Trader Joe's location. Nonetheless, i travel to the Elk Grove location for my Trader Joe's stuff. You don't have a list but end up putting a lot of things in your cart by the time you walk around the store. Recently, the expanded the frozen aisle section and its bigger that means more selections and more things that go into the cart! Lots of options to pick from frozen food and or fresh fruits. Love it! It's always packed during the weekends and parking takes a little bit of time. The service is always fast and friendly.

    So organized with the mini canvas bag craziness! Limit 2. I got the blue and green and my husband got me the red.

    Always a great experience at this trader joe's. Anytime I need help the employees are usually pretty helpful with finding what I'm looking for. Came in today for the mini canvas bags! This store has a limit of 2 per person. My husband came with me so he got me the red one. There was no chaos like you see online. There were over 100 people in line but once the store opens the line moves pretty fast. I was in and out within 10 mins. If I didn't do some quick grocery shopping I probably would have been done in 2 mins. That is how lightning fast they were. The employees were not playing. They were set up so well it was such a calm shopping trip instead of stress and chaos. I will definitely keep shopping at trader joe's not only for the excellent customer service but their amazing selection of yummy food and snacks.

    I Love the plant and flower selection. Always serves as a great gift in a pinch. Grab a very well priced card too.... All set.

    I love Trader Joe's! I view Trader Joes as a Chick fil A version of a grocery story. The customer service is on point and the cashiers knows how to knock out a long line. I've never been to a chain grocery store that performs as well as Trader Joe's on top of that, all the grocery items are well organize. It's never scattered all over the place. Overall, I would strongly recommend Trader Joe's because it's affordable, quick, and yummy!

    Loooove me some TJs...and I'm there EVERY WEEK. From their regular staple items that are consistently good to their special seasonal items, TJs always brings the fun and goodies!! I look forward to seasonal items like Pumpkin Kringle (from Wisconsin) to the latest find - Phyllo Crisps! I never know how to stick to my grocery list when I come here....but honestly, that's part of the fun.

    I love coming here to try new things and their flowers are awesome too. You can always find a variety and different price points. Staff is always friendly. They have a great wine and beer selection. Plenty of parking but it gets busy throughout the day. This location is right next to Home Goods & Kohls. There are other retailers in this plaza as well.

    First time at this location and I can say I left very satisfied. The store layout itself is open and clean with the products being neatly organized. As for the prices, it definitely ranges based on the item but from my experience it's always been worth it. After a few laps around the store I finally got to the checkout and let me tell you, the service was 10/10! Not only were they quick but maintained a positive attitude the entire time. Great customer service and work, I'll certainly be back.

    No regrets
    Helen L.

    I love it here. Friendly & helpful employees, a wide variety of fresh and not fresh items, alcohol, the whole shebang and more. What more could we ask for. I don't come to TJ's often, but when I do, it's to get a couple things but I always end up leaving with an overstuffed basket. I purposely avoid getting a cart for this very reason

    I've visited the coffee shop over here a few times and saw this market, I finally stopped in to…read morebrowse and do a little shopping. The plaza is busy and has plenty of parking, but be careful in the parking lot- it's very active with cars coming and going as well as people. The. store has a good variety of fresh produce, meats from their butcher, fresh fish, shelf stable items, and refrigerated items. They had a good variety of savory snacks including some chips in brands and flavors I hadn't seen before. We picked up some chips and snacks, some freeze dried fruit, sauces, canned items and a few other odds and ends. It was busy and while they had two registers open both lines were long- but moved quickly. The prices were reasonable here and comparable to other places we've been to.

    Adj: Adequately Average, but Conveniently "Comprehensive"…read more So I'm not sure how it's taken me this long to finally come check out this Asian grocery store that's been open now for almost 5 years, according to other Yelpers' reviews. But it's still "new" in my mind, lol, but in reality it's only new to me anymore. Hubby was not interested in coming with so I went by myself and it was an interesting experience. It's in the super busy Chipotle and Dollar Tree shopping plaza south of Laguna on the side closest to Harriet Eddy Middle School, so that would be the east side of Bruceville. Anyways, so the parking was tight as there were tons of cars coming and going and the lot was pretty full, but I found a spot close enough to walk over to that corner. As I entered the store , I had major flashback, first from the smell, it hit me like a ton of bricks, yes, the Asian grocery store smell. Visually, it looks like an old school Chinese grocery store by the shelves and the way they laid things out, then I realized what it was, it reminds me of Ho Chin on Freeport! lol or one of the older Asian supermarkets on 65th like Wing Wah! Major dejavu moment, haha... Anyhow, I was warned that prices are higher here as they know they've got a captive customer base of Elk Grovian shoppers who need to get their Asian ingredients or snacks or veggies, but don't want to drive into South Sac. Totally understandable, so there's definitely a mark up on many products here, I would consider that a built-in convenience fee, lol. I looked around and first there's the produce section and they do have fresh Asian veggies and fruits. Everything looked pretty organized in this section, but the tofu area looked kind of messy or just visually cluttered for some reason. No big deal though, I moved onto my favorite section which is the meat dept and they had a good variety of pork and chicken, less beef. They had the Chinese black and yellow chickens which really can't be found anywhere else besides from a chicken vendor or at Asian grocery stores, these chickens are good for postpartum and surgery recovery soups so it's good that Seasons carries them, pricey though they maybe. Next I walked towards the back of the store and the butchers were looking at me so I refrained from taking pics of their section and of course I wasn't going to take pics of anyone to begin with, but they probably saw me take a few pics of the tea and flour aisles close to them and wondered what the heck is that gal doing? lol... I moved into the pantry stable foods aisles next which include the sauces and spices aisle, the dried noodles and dried veggies/mushrooms/savory ingredients row, and of course I had to check out the snacks and sweets aisle. All of them were pretty well stocked but definitely looked a little messy in some sections, not as immaculately organized as Ranch 99 on Florin or SF Market on South Land Park which is my usual go to for Asian grocery. Overall, this store is a very strategically located Asian grocery store for the Elk Grove community of Asian foodies who like to cook for themselves and for those looking for specialized Asian ingredients and snacks etc. that can't be found in regular grocery stores. 1 star knocked off for the several somewhat cluttered and disorganized areas, the tight quarters (they really can lay things out better if they got someone professional to change things up), and the smell, lol. The obviously higher prices for some items = another star deducted, but others might be ok with paying more for the convenience of not having to drive to Ranch 99, SF market or other Asian stores down in South Land Park or off 65th in Little Saigon.

On this trip, I got a combo plate with lumpia, rice, and sinigang (which is a classic Filipino sour soup known for its tamarind-based broth with vegetables). Also picked up Mango and Ube ice cream. Actually gifted the same Mango and Ube ice cream to a friend for her family over the Christmas holiday. She said the Ube was a big hit with the kids. This Elk Grove store is always clean and well organized with friendly customer service! Will definitely be back again soon and many more times.
